RESUMO

Study 1 of this work aimed to evaluate, in children with typical development, possible controls of stimuli involved in the process of acquisition of control by minimal verbal units. Investigation took place during the training sessions of conditional discrimination of compound stimuli (written words), and during the tests that evaluated the emergence of control by minimal verbal units. The purpose of Study 2 was threefold. Firstly, to carry out a systematic replication of the procedures employed in Study 1 with a participant with autism. Secondly, to widen the scope of analysis of Study1. And thirdly, to propose procedures for correction of individual control to restricted stimuli. In Study 1, previously-collected data were analyzed through a program of recombinative reading with three participants. The pairs of stimuli related to the responses of participants and the stimuli model presented in each trial error were categorized. The results were analyzed to see critical and multiple differences of compound stimuli. In Study 2, not only were the same program and categorization applied, but specific and individualized procedures to correct patterns of restricted control of stimuli were introduced. The results of Study 1 and 2 showed that, in general, the four participants demonstrated acquisition of control by minimal verbal units. However, occurrence of variability regarding the prevalence of errors involving multiple or critical differences was observed. There was also variability with regards to the need to introduce specific and individualized procedures to maximize the expected repertoire or correct restricted stimuli control.
